MB&F LM101 Gabriel Colliard: Three Limited-Edition Cloisonné Enamel Watches
MB&F has introduced three limited editions of the LM101 featuring cloisonné enamel dials by Gabriel Colliard. Each platinum watch depicts a colourful animal scene—monkeys in blue, macaws in red, or a crocodile in green—composed around the LM101’s suspended balance wheel and sculptural movement. To make room for the layered enamel, MB&F thinned the dial plate and replaced the floating time and power-reserve sub-dials with longer hands. The dials and matching ratchet wheels are formed with hand-bent gold wires and repeated enamel firings, making each piece unique. The manual-winding movement offers a 60-hour power reserve and a 14mm suspended balance wheel with a double hairspring. Each colourway is limited to eight pieces, with prices of CHF 98,000, EUR 107,000, or USD 131,000, excluding tax.
Buying Time Analysis: This story is important because it shows how MB&F and Gabriel Colliard adapted the LM101’s distinctive architecture to create 24 individually unique cloisonné enamel watches, blending collaborative artistry with high-end watchmaking.
